Underground Garage is the name shared by two related but different radio outlets, a syndicated show and a satellite radio station, both created and supervised by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt to present rock 'n' roll and garage rock on radio. Both outlets play a mixture of garage rock both old and new, and the music which influenced today's garage rock. On both the Sirius XM channel and on the syndicated show, one song is regularly proclaimed as "The Coolest Song in the World This Week."

One of the outlets is a weekly syndicated radio show – broadcasting under the full title Little Steven's Underground Garage – heard on over 200 terrestrial FM radio stations in 130 major cities in the United States and in many countries outside the US. The two-hour show is written, hosted and produced by Van Zandt. The show debuted on approximately 30 US stations in 2003 and has become one of the fastest-growing syndicated music radio shows in the US. It is heard by approximately one million listeners in the US each week.

The other outlet is a 24-hours-a-day-7-days-a-week satellite radio channel (named Underground Garage) heard nationwide in the USA & Canada on Sirius XM Radio channel 21 and via Dish Network satellite TV –- and heard worldwide on Sirius/XM Internet Radio. In musical terms, the radio channel is an extension of Van Zandt's own weekly radio show and shares the same philosophy.

The radio channel is programmed and run by Van Zandt. The programs are hosted by a team of personalities personally selected by Van Zandt. On-air hosts on the channel include, or have included, original Rolling Stones manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham; punk rock singer Handsome Dick Manitoba; The Mighty Manfred (lead singer of The Woggles); veteran FM radio deejays Kid Leo and Bill Kelly; rock entrepreneur Kim Fowley; and musician/producer Genya Ravan (originally the singer in Goldie & the Gingerbreads). "Chris Carter's British Invasion", hosted by Chris Carter, appears on the channel each Sunday.
